I use XL2000, but Office recently had to be reinstalled. I use Autosave, and
I leave it set to save without prompting. Before the re-installation, it

Now it doesn't. I have to adjust the settings each time I start XL up. I
can't see any way of making the settings permanent. Is this being caused by
some obscure registry problem maybe?

I would appreciate any thoughts.
